Quick Review: “Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition”

"DmC: Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition." But then they released "Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition," in a similar vein "Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition." Read more »

Opinion: Why Kickstarter for “Shenmue III” Is a Good Thing
Have We Learned Nothing from "Silent Hills" or "Shenmue's" Past?
One of the biggest surprises of E3 was that "Shenmue III" was revealed, joining legendary titles "Final Fantasy VII Remake," "Fallout 4," and "The Last Guardian" to be shown at E3.
